What should I look for on food labels?

Labels containing fish or shellfish will usually be quite specific and label the type of allergen. It is important to know what allergen you struggle with, or which group to avoid and so we have produced a quick reference sheet for seafood groups here – it is vital to realise however that this is not an indication that any or all of a food group will be safe for you to come into contact with. Many sufferers can be prone to cross species allergens and it is always wise to consult your specialist before trying anything new.
